When I am in a reboot (as I have been in maintenance almost a year)...I count this as a non-restrictive (but carb wise it is more restrictive) I only use this on high exercise days. (calorie wise it is more non-restrictive).

Darbs, this would be a restrictive yes?

It doesn't work the same with the pudding packets.

This is also pretty tasty with a little WF caramel dip on top.

Real time update. Just made it with a cappuccino drink mix packet. Used a small glass mixing bowl. Served warm with dollop of WF chocolate dip on top. Yummy.

I have never tried it, but I am pretty sure I read more than once that pudding did not work- not sure about 1/2 and 1/2 though!

i add about a 1/2 tbsp of vanilla to the mix. I cook it for 12 minutes on 400 and it really is good. I probably would eat it off the diet too. I hope you enjoy it!:carrot:

That sounds good. I will have to try it with cappuccino. Never thought of that.
I like it a little less cooked so I stop the microwave just as it starts to falls over. So 3 minutes is too long for me. I do use less oil too.

My old boss was on Nutrisystem (I think) a few years back and had some mug cake packets he didn't want. I remember really liking them, so I was happy when I noticed this thread! Wasn't sure exactly what kind of drink mix to use, but I mixed half a scoop of no-sugar-added chocolate protein powder with half a no-sugar-added hot chocolate packet, and also added a little plain cocoa with a small amount of finely chopped walnuts.

Sure hits the spot if I'm craving cake! I sliced it in half last night, saving the other half for today. :)

:D oohh may try this tonight for my 'dessert'

Thank you for the recipe! It was yummy

This sounds delicious! I've been looking for a sweet treat.

I tried this again today. Last time it had huge air bubbles, so I decided to use my Magic Bullet to mix it. That seemed to do the trick! I only nuked it for 2 1/2 minutes this time as well, and the texture turned out a lot better for me (every microwave is different of course).

I forgot to add the olive oil! :lol: Turned out fine though. :) I also added a little squirt of sugar-free Hershey's chocolate syrup and extra Truvia. I also added half a teaspoon of finely chopped walnuts and half a teaspoon of finely chopped pecans, and the texture of them were blended away by the bullet.

Here's a photo; I topped it with a little more of the Hershey syrup and a few more walnuts. :)

I've sliced it into six pieces and plan on savoring for the next couple of days. Turned out extra yummy this time! :D

Oh, sorry about that! I don't normally wander into this section and don't know anything about the diet given here, but the Mug Cake topic caught my eye and the mods I've done work within my personal limits. :)
